Triethylamine → HCID 57682613, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(phenyl(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methyl)piperazine (2.0 g, 6 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 mL) was added methyl bromoacetate (0.59 mL, 6 mmol) dropwise at rt. The reaction was stirred for 30 min. and triethylamine (3.6 mL, 26 mmol) was added. After stirring for 18 h at rt, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layers were combined, washed with saturated NaCl solution, then dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by ISCO using 0-40% ethyl acetate or 0-2% ethyl acetate in CH2Cl2 to give a mixture of enantiomers (2.0 g, 80%). The enantiomers were separated by chiral chromatography as described below and two peaks were collected with 100% ee.
